SYNOPSIS: One by one the babies were dying in the pediatric ward of a San Antonio, Texas, hospital. Doctors struggled in vain as children survived routine operations only to face life-threatening emergencies and inexplicable deaths. The only common thread: a nurse named Genene Jones, whose daily 3 to 11 p.m. schedule coincided with all the mysterious dying--a time period that became known as "the death shift." This is the horrifying true story of a deeply disturbed woman whose enormous ego needs for constant attention were filled by her tiny victims...and of a hospital administration that, though suspicious, was unable to stop her from killing again and again. This powerful, nerve-shattering account reconstructs the chilling events that led to the deaths of up to thirteen children, as it probes the darkest depths of criminal madness. Peter Elkind is an associate editor of Texas Monthly, which published his award-winning article on the Genene Jones case. For this book, the author interviewed well over one hundred people--including Genene Jones herself--and reviewed thousands of pages of public and secret documents. AWARDS: A Literary Guild Alternate Selection.
